This is a terrific soup. I am not sure that it was intended to be a soup but I added enough V8 for it to be a hearty soup. I did have a couple of changes. I subbed pork and beans for the chili beans as that is what I had on hand. I added in 2 tblsp. of chili sauce to make up for the difference. My husband has a thing about cumin so left it out and decreased the chili powder due to using the chili sauce. I thought it needed a little colour so added in about 1/2 cup of frozen corn which turned out to be a nice addition. I topped the servings with sour cream. My son thought it was a bit spicy but ate his serving, my husband and I both thought it was great. I am surprised that there are not many more reviews for this super easy, fast, hearty and very tasty soup. Thanks for sharing your recipe.
